A Poem by Megan Step

I Remember...

I remember the small trail of my footprints in the sandy ash,

following my mother who ran desperately away from the thick gray arms of the Monster behinde us.

I remember eating a yummy meal only mear hours before,

the taste of the spagetti still lingering on my tongue.

and I will never forget.

It was suppose to be a wonderfully vaction,

 but it became know as
